The address number used will be maintained on PO item table EKPO. The address number it uses is determined as follows (assuming standard SAP without user exits):
Default address;
- Storage Location Address, if maintained,
- Plant Address, if maintained AND If Storage Address is not maintained,
- Company Code Address, if maintained AND if the Plant & storage location addresses are not maintained
- Blank, if none of the above have been maintained
- If you look in table ADRC, this address will be assigned to address group CA01 (Customizing address)
- Maintenance of these addresses are performed in configuration.
The user has the option to change the default address, or add a vendor number,
customer number, or address number in the fields on the right. They can only do one of these, not a combination of them.
- Manual change of an address on the address tab:
- If the address is physically changed on the screen, SAP will generate a new address number that applies to this PO only and cannot be reused on future POs.
- In table ADRC, this address group is ME03 - One time vendor address.
- If they choose a vendor, the vendor number appears on the address tab, the address number for that vendor will be in table EKPO, in ADRC, it will account group BP (Business Partner)
- Maintenance of this address is performed in the Vendor Master
- If they choose a customer, the customer number appears on the address tab, the address number for that customer will be in table EKPO, in ADRC, it will account group BP (Business Partner)
- Maintenance of this address is performed in the Customer master
- If they choose an address number, that number appears on the address tab, and that address number will be listed in ADRC as address group ME01 (Delivery Address)
- maintenance of these addresses are performed in transaction code MEAN
